But can you wire 2 humbuckers up to one On/on/on switch so you can select the coils?

This might help. You should be able to get both coils and series humbucking:

You use an on/off/on to choose either coil or series HB for both PU's:

I just want parallel and split coil (no series). I know I can do it with an on/on/on switch and get all three but I just want parallel and split with a two position switch.

yes jim, just wire it exactly the same as you see the on/on/on switch where you get a three. with the on/on wired like the on/on/on gives you a parallel/series switch.

no sir, each pickup will require it's own switch.

Thanks Mike but I was looking to see if I could get a "parallel/split" switch rather than a "parallel/series" switch. I mostly would use the pickup as a single coil but sometimes I need hum cancelling (espcially at venues with lights on dimmer switches) but I don't want the series sound. Parallel is closer to the single coil sound. Maybe the easiest way is to just use an on/on/on switch and wire it for series/split/parallel? I just thought it would be cool not to change the switch.

mijknahs wrote:You could wire your coil cut switch so that it flips which coil is tapped. Then you can try the top upper coil or the bottom coil. I did that for a while since I never used the humbucker setting. I definitely like the upper (neck side) coil the best. Now I have the switch set to coil tap/humbucker again.

Yes, Mine has the coil taps for either or single coil only for middle and Bridge and Humbucker only in the neck ( with no tone control like a real strat ) and I think the upper ( closest to the neck ) side of the middle Super II sounds most like the tone I'm after although if I go for the upper Bridge and Lower Middle I can get a nice country tone out of it. The rhythm player in the country band I'm in uses a Tele and My Tiger copy can really hold it's ground in the twang dept using the bridge pickup ( super III ).
